Having a Plan B is easier if, like me, you have list after list of possible trips. I’ve even broken them down by type and duration. Among them was the idea of trying a boat trip. So, even as I was returning from my trip to Provence—which I had to cut short due to circumstances…

Before leaving, getting around by public transportation in the Caucasus seemed like it might be a problem. I’d read in various sources about the dreadful marshrutkas—ramshackle minibuses dating back to the Soviet era. Even people I know have told me about stops in the middle of nowhere; about being surrounded by smoke filling the passenger…

Getting around by public transportation, in addition to sleeping in budget accommodations, is now one of the few ways to find something original and strange in a trip.

But Cappadocia also deserves for more, especially for walking…

Maybe because I first tried it in Australia, so with little traffic, but I don’t consider it a problem, quite the contrary.

Accomplishing the coast-to-coast of Canada by train was one of the things I was most excited about when I left, and I was not disappointed at all. I chose the cheapest option, so no bunk, but I still slept well because the seats were wide and comfortable. Also, since it was uncrowded, I had a…

The travel in Canada, as I envisioned it, in 17 days, might have seemed crazy, but instead it went well and I saw without even running, everything I set my mind to. For many, the same trip would take months; from several places I had read that one must choose one coast or the other.…

Me and Senegalese taxi drivers, even without cars a really original public transportation In my independent touring in Africa, I have had to deal with original public transportation. I have vividly in my mind the moment of leaving Saint Luis in the rain. Yes, because even in Africa it sometimes rains. I was lucky to…
